WTB: Boxster S brake calipers
I have a 2000 base model and im looking to upgrade my brakes to a Boxster S or 996 setup.
Looking for the full set of calipers, let me know what you have. If you have brake disks as well and they are in good shape i will consider getting them. Im on the 17 inch turbo twist but from what I know bigger breaks should fit just fine. Thanks, Cristian |
I have front calipers that I'll let go. If you can't find a complete set, let me know.

I have a complete set of Boxster S calipers from my 2002 S. They're not pretty, because I was planning to get them refinished before I sold them, and all I've done at this point is spray them with degreaser and wiped them down with some acetone to get the built up grime off the outside surfaces. They are fully functional, but with 100k miles on them I would recommend replacing the seals and dust boots. I replaced them solely for cosmetic reasons when I did my Raby engine rebuild last year. No pads or discs, but for what it would cost to ship the discs, you might as well buy new ones anyway. If you want to shoot me a PM with your phone number, I can text you pics of the calipers.

If that's the case though.. that adds another level of complexity. if I dont swap would they still fit and maybe give up hand brake? I'm guessing with bigger breaks on the front and base model brakes on the rear the back end will get squirlly under hard braking right? |

As 80-85% of the car's braking effort in on the front brakes, you won't notice any difference. |

quick update, ended up swapping the S brakes for the front only and it's quite the difference! much improved braking, the way the base boxster should have been. Anyone who's on the fence should just find a decent set of calipers and do it, the swap is much easier than i thought. Can go well when it comes time to swap discs.
There's a nice set for sale right now from Racer Boy, someone should jump on it! |

I am doing this upgrade too and have already sourced the brake caliper, but having much difficulty finding the S version combination brake/blinker fluid reservoir. Do you happen to have one of these for sale? |
All you need is the calipers (which bolt right up to the existing bracket) and the rotors. Nothing else is needed.
|
Yes I have the s version for sale

We should apologize to CZB for cluttering his thread. jameandrew48 have you considered submitting to https://bringatrailer.com/ it may be a better market for such a rare car. |
No apologies needed.. it is I who should thank you :)

I just bought a set of 996 brake calipers for my base 986 and started searching for information here.
I just have to say that if you don't have English as your first language, some of the posts in this thread can be quite confusing. Anyway, you learn something new every day. I had never heard of muffler bearings before... :confused: :D |

Best of luck with your brake caliper swap! |
